Android Build Error when gradle is building the package

[BBN_VN]

After installing the various components for an android build, getting Renpy to recognize java in my registry, and all the other fun stuff that goes into trying to set this up, I appeared to finally get everything configured and the build was compiling until I encountered an error. On the plus side, I seem to be making progress. On the downside, this error has me completely flummoxed. Any tips on how to resolve this? (I'm beyond frustrated with trying to get an android build at this point. It's been hours of work for something I'll never use.)

Code: Select all

Ren'Py 7.4.4.1439

Updating project.

Creating assets directory.

Packaging internal data.

I'm using Gradle to build the package.
To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/6.1.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build stopping after processing

WARNING: API 'ApkVariantOutput.getVersionCodeOverride()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'VariantOutput.versionCode()'.
It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin.

To determine what is calling ApkVariantOutput.getVersionCodeOverride(), use -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true on the command line to display more information.

It goes on and on but I don't want an obscene wall of text unless it's necessary. Any help or assistance would be hugely appreciated! I'd like to do this for fans but at this point I'm ready to throw in the towel for android builds.

Edit/Random Observation: Who is alexeydanilov and why is he part of the url? For background, I downloaded the open source Java packages recommended in the link in Renpy.

Quoting Imperf3kt:

A fix has already been issued, it will be in the next renpy stable release.
See this thread (and it's links) for a more detailed explanation.

LOL. Alright, thanks! I guess I'm relieved it's not yet another error on my own part but good grief... for someone who is trying to do this for the very first time, it's frustrating as heck.
